[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer to the original post is easy to obtain: just compare the USNWR list from 1990 to the present one. What moved up, what went down? Or course, some will snark about USNWR, but from a layperson‘s perspective, it is the most used rankings. And, since OP is asking this on a layperson board, it seems a reasonable resource. [/quote]

Yes. Can we end this thread? It’s the BSers arguing back and forth about irrelevant stuff or stuff they know nothing about. The latest rage is the importance of STEM. Do these donkeys really think that the ranking experts don’t understand the importance of STEM? And, if the ranking organizations do, the importance of STEM is already incorporated into the current rankings. What the donkeys don’t seem to realize is that STEM is NOT everything. In fact, technology mostly allows us to do the same things we’ve done for thousands of years, but more quickly and efficiently. That means that the underlying issues of what makes human life meaningful and sustainable - the essence of a liberal arts education - is still more foundational than STEM. So, yes, Yale still matters (DP than the raging argument between donkeys). [/quote]

Right. What is Facebook’s existential issue, technology or ethics? It’s ethics. Look, a bunch of bros can build a machine, but it takes really smart, thoughtful, and reflective people to think carefully about how machines should be used. [/quote]
